Comcast (CMCSA) is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 2850 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 56. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: =-9.34%

Explanation:

Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:

= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed

= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850

= -267 / 2850

= -0.09368

=-9.34%

Note:

Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433

Dividend = 100

Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600

______Cr Common stock $3,100

_______Cr Share premium $8,990

Explanation:

The common stocks are carried at par value of $1. This implies that any price paid in excess of the par value is made provision for in the share premium account.

Again, the common stocks issued are measured at the price required to settle the legal expenses and are paid in excess of par value of $1.

On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $76,000 and $4,000, respectively. During Year 2, Kincaid reported $215,000 of credit sales, wrote off $2,100 of receivables as uncollectible, and collected cash from receivables amounting to $271,100. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. What effect will the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 have on the elements of the financial statements

Answers

Answer:

The effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.

Explanation:

Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = Credit sales * Estimated percentage uncollectable = $215,000 * 1% = $2,150

Ending account receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales - Cash collected - Receivales written off as uncollectable - Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = $76,000 + $215,000 - $271,100 - $2,100 - $2,150 = $15,560

Ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beginning Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Receivales written off as uncollectable = $4,000 - $2,100 = $1,900

Therefore, the effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.

A machine that cost $225,000 has an estimated residual value of $15,000 and an estimated useful life of 15,000 machine hours. The company uses units-of-production depreciation and ran the machine 3,000 hours in year 1, 4,000 hours in year 2, and 5,000 hours in year 3. Calculate its book value at the end of year 3

Answers

Answer:

$57,000

Explanation:

Step 1 : Depreciation Rate

Depreciation Rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Production

therefore,

Depreciation Rate = $14.00 per machine hour

Step 2 : Depreciation expenses

Depreciation expense = Depreciation Rate x Annual production

therefore

Year 1 = $42,000

Year 2 = $56,000

Year 3 = $70,000

Total    = $168,000

Step 3 : Book Value

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

                    = $225,000 - $168,000

                    = $57,000

Conclusion :

book value at the end of year 3 is $57,000

Answer:

Quality Book Sales

1) Uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 = $890

2) Net realizable value of receivables at the end of Year 2 = $69,650

B) The reason why the uncollectible accounts expense amount is different from the amount that was written off as uncollectible is:

(2) Uncollectible accounts expense is the actual amount that was determined in the current accounting period to be uncollectible.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Accounts Receivable Balance, January 1, Year 2 =  $78,500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, January 1, Year 2 = 4,710

Sales on Account, Year 2  = 550,000

Collections of Accounts Receivable, Year 2  = 556,000

Uncollectibles written off = $2,850

Allowance for Uncollectible accounts = 0.5% of Sales ($550,000 * 0.5%)

= $2,750

1) Uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 = $890 ($2,850 + $2,750 - $4,710)

2) Net realizable value of receivables at the end of Year 2 = $69,650

B) The reason why the uncollectible accounts expense amount is different from the amount that was written off as uncollectible is:

(2) Uncollectible accounts expense is the actual amount that was determined in the current accounting period to be uncollectible.

Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

1. Average collection period 41.25 days

2. Receivable Turnover 8.84848485

3. Average Receivable $521,558.22

Explanation:

1. Calculation for Average collection period

First step is to calculate the Percentage of customers not receiving discounts

Percentage of customers not receiving discounts = 100% - 65%

Percentage of customers not receiving discounts= 35%

Now let calculate Average collection period

Average collection period = (65% * 15) + (35% *90)

Average collection period = 9.75 + 31.5

Average collection period= 41.25 days

Therefore the Average collection period is 41.25 days

2. Calculation to determine the Receivable Turnover using this formula

Receivable Turnover = 365 / Average collection period

Let plug in the formula

Receivable Turnover = 365/41.25

Receivable Turnover = 8.84848485

Therefore the Receivable Turnover is 8.84848485

3. Calculation to determine the amount of the company’s average receivables

First step is to calculate the Total Credit Sales

Total Credit Sales = $6,500 * $710

Total Credit Sales= $4,615,000

Now let calculate the Average Receivable using this formula

Average Receivable =Credit sales / Receivable turnover

Let plug in the formula

Average Receivable= $4,615,000 /8.84848485

Average Receivable= $521,558.22

Therefore Average Receivable is $521,558.22

The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.20/$. During that one year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis. Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.2% annualized.

Required:
a. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?
b. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?
c. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?

Answers

Answer:

1. 1.17416 peso/$

2. -63.30%

Explanation:

1. The exchange rate in January if PPP is held

1.00 = exchange rate

20 % = inflation in Argentina

0.22% = us inflation

1.00(1+0.20)/(1+0.022)

= 1.00x1.20/1.022

= 1.17416 pesos/$

B. Percentage by which pesos was devalued

(PPP/actual exchange rate)-1

= 1.17416/3.20 -1

= 0.366925-1

= -0.6330

= -63.30%

C. At 20 % we can see that inflation is really high in Argentina which is probably the reason for the undervaluation. But the truth is inflation alone cannot be held responsible. Severe crisis in Argentinas balance of payment is partly responsible

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.

For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will _________, and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by ____________the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________ the natural level of output in the short run. Suppose the economy's short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve is given by the following equation:

Answers

Answer:

1. A fall in prices of soybean

2. Reduce quantity she supplies

3. Falls below

Explanation:

We are to fill in the blanks here

1. In this question the farmer expected price level of 100 but the actual price realized was 90 so there would be a fall in the price of soybean.

2. If farmer feels that price of other goods caused this fall, she would reduce the quantity of soybean that she supplies

3. The quantity supplied is then going to fall below natural level in the short run

Small's labor cost and other associated costs for the employees providing services to Big totaled $121,000 in 20X8. Big reported $2,567,000 of income from its own separate operations for 20X8, and Small reported net income of $695,000. Based on the preceding information, what amount of income should be assigned to the noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated income statement for 20X8

Answers

Answer: $34750

Explanation:

The amount of income should be assigned to the noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated income statement for 20X8 will be:

Net income of Small = $695,000

Bug company's share = 95% × $695000 = $660250

Therefore, non controlling shareholders at 5% will be:

= 5% × Net income of Small

= 5% × $695000

= 0.05 × $695000

= $34750

Macmillan Toys Inc. is located in the nation of Ruffino near the nation of East Fenwick. Macmillan Toys is considering expanding into Rusalka. Both countries have similar consumer incomes and knowledge bases and share a common language. Also, the transportation networks between the countries are strong. Even so, the two nations have a long-standing dispute concerning the control of an area of land along their common border. Currently, Ruffino rules this land.

What would most likely prevent Macmillan Toys from expanding into Rusalka?

Answers

Answer: Political Distance

Explanation:

Political distance refers to a difference in opinion and policies as well as relations that countries have amongst themselves. In this scenario, this is the most likely bone of contention that would prevent Macmillan Toys from expanding into Rusalka.

This is because land disputes fall under political distance and can get very serious. So serious in fact that nations have gone to war over such disputes with the latest being Azerbaijan and Armenia. Macmillan Toys may therefore find it difficult to expand into the country due to this land dispute.

Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Current ratio

Year 1 = 1.3

Year 2 = 1.1

Quick ratio

Year 1 = 1.0

Year 2 = 0.8

Explanation:

Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.

Current assets

Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865

= $ 23,031.00

Year 2 =  6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143

= $ 20,663.00

Current Liabilities

Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507

= $ 17,578.00

Year 2 = 5,076 + 13,016

= $ 18,092.00

Current ratio

Year 1 = $ 23,031.00/$ 17,578.00

= 1.3 ( to 1 decimal place)

Year 2 = $ 20,663.00/$ 18,092.00

= 1.1 to 1 decimal place

Quick ratio

Year 1

= (23,031.00 - 2,720 - 1,865)/ 17,578.00

= 1.0 to 1 decimal place

Year 2

= (20,663.00 - 3,143 - 2,143)

= 0.8 to 1 decimal place

Which of the following statements regarding the tax ramifications of Jonathan's transactions are CORRECT?
Capital gains tax is due the year the options are granted to Jonathan.
Jonathan's cost to exercise all of the NQSOs is $50,000.
Jonathan will have a $750,000 capital gain when he sells the stock at $100 per share.

A) I, II, and III
B) III and IV
C) I and II
D) I, II, III, and IV

Answers

Answer: B. III and IV

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we should note that the capital gain will be:

= $1,000,000 - $250,000

= $750,000

Also, the bargain amount will be calculated as:

= 10000 × ($25 - $10)

= 10000 × $15

= $150,000

We should also note that the statement in option 1 that "Capital gains tax is due the year the options are granted to Jonathan" is wrong. Capital gain will only arise when the shares have been sold, therefore option I is incorrect.

Based on the information above, the answer is option III and IV.

First, calculate the Interest payment in case, if borrowed from the British market

Interest Payment ( British ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction

Interest Payment ( British ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 56/360

Interest Payment ( British ) = $77,777.78

First, calculate the Interest payment in case if borrowed from Swiss market

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = Principal Value x Interest rate x Time fraction

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $8,000,000 x 6.250% x 60/360

Interest Payment ( Swiss ) = $83,333.33

As the British market offers a lower rate, Chavez should borrow from the British market.  

Patents are on the books of a British subsidiary of a U.S. firm at a value of 50,000 pounds. The patents were acquired in 2017 when the exchange rate was 1 pound = $1.50. The British subsidiary was acquired by the U.S. firm in 2019 when the exchange rate was 1 pound = $1.40. The exchange rate on December 31, 2020, the date of the most current balance sheet, is 1 pound = $1.55. The average rate of exchange for 2020 is $1.53. Assuming the dollar is the functional currency of the subsidiary, what exchange rate will be used to re-measure patents for the consolidated statements dated December 31, 2020?

Answers

Answer:

The exchange rate that will be used to re-measure patents for the consolidated statements dated December 31, 2020 is:

= 1 pound = $1.55.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Patents on the books of a British subsidiary = 50,000 pounds

Patent's acquisition date = 2017 at 1 pound = $1.50

Subsidiary's acquisition date = 2019 at 1 pound = $1.40

Current exchange rate, most current balance sheet on December 31, 2020 = 1 pound = $1.55.

Average rate of exchange for 2020 is $1.53

Value of Patent for the consolidated accounts = $77,500 (50,000 pounds * $1.55)

b) The accounting standard rule is that assets and liabilities of subsidiaries should be consolidated at the current exchange rates.  Business transactions are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year.  For equity accounts, you can use either the current or historical exchange rates.

Mona is opening a new business selling fake fur coats. She organizes the company as a limited liability company called Fake-It, LLC and borrows $100,000 from a local bank in Fake-It's name. She also signs a personal guarantee at the bank promising to pay the debt of Fake-It. A friend of hers, Tanner, a second-year law student, advises her not to worry about the personal guarantee, because under the law of limited liability companies, it would be illegal for anyone to attempt to hold her liable for debts of the company. Is Tanner right?

Answers

Answer:

Yes but see explanation.

Explanation:

In lay man terms, the LLC is standing as a legal entity in itself. It can sue and be sued; as if it were a person. Tanner is right but Mona is a 'member' of the company (the owner or starter is called or seen as 'a member') and part of the liabilities of the company lie on her!

The legal document that determines who to hold liable for debts of the company is the Article of Organization. This document describes the rights, the powers, the responsibilities and the liabilities of each member of the limited liability company. So, if in this document, Mona bears a bulk of the financial liability of the company, then if the company is found wanting - on the basis of debt - and a court case comes up; Mona will be one of the members on the 'hot seat'.

Her personal bank account or financial assets might be protected in a company debt case but she'll still have to appear in court and be questioned accordingly. In lay man language, it is she - a human - who opened the business, so if there's debt, the humans involved (members) will be called upon.

You plan to visit Geneva, Switzerland in three months to attend an international business conference. You expect to incur the total cost of SF 5,000 for lodging, meals and transportation during your stay. As of today, the spot exchange rate is $0.60/SF and the three-month forward rate is $0.63/SF. You can buy the three-month call option on SF with the exercise rate of $0.64/SF for the premium of $0.05 per SF. Assume that your expected future spot exchange rate is the same as the forward rate. The three-month interest rate is 6 percent per annum in the United States and 4 percent per annum in Switzerland.

Required:
a. Calculate your expected dollar cost of buying $F5,000 if you choose to hedge by a call option on SF.
b. Calculate the future dollar cost of meeting this SF obligation if you decide to hedge using a forward contract.
c. At what future spot exchange rate will you be indifferent between the forward and option market hedges?
d. Illustrate the future dollar cost of meeting the SF payable against the future spot exchange rate under both the options and forward market hedges.

Answers

Answer:

A. 3403.75 dollars

B. 3150

C. 0.579

D. Is an attachment

Explanation:

A. We first find the premium cost

= 0.05x5000 x 1+0.06/4

= 250x1.015

= 253.75

From here we find expected dollar cost

= Exchange rate x units + premium

= 0.63x5000+253.75

= 3,403.75 dollars

B. Forward rate = 0.63

Total cost of dollar

= 0.63x5000

= 3150

C. The investor would be indifferent at 0.579

Forward rate = unit * future + premium

3150 = 5000 * future + 253.75

3150-253.75 = 5000*future

We solve and divide through by 5000

Future = 0.579

D is in the attachment

The expected dollar cost of buying $F5,000 through the call option is $3403.75.

The first thing to do is to calculate the premium cost. This will be:

= (5% × 5000) × (1 + 6%/4)

= (0.05 × 5000) × (1 + 0.06/4)

= 250 × 1.015

= 253.75

The expected dollar cost will be:

= Exchange rate × Number of units + Call premium cost

= 0.63 × 5000 + 253.75

= 3403.75

The future dollar cost of meeting this SF obligation will be calculated thus:

= Forward rate × Number of units

= 0.63 × 5000

= $3150

The future spot exchange rate that the person will be indifferent will be:

= (3150 - 253.75) / 5000

= $0.579

Prepare an incremental analysis of the effect of dropping the sour cream product line.

Answers

Answer:

Dropping Sour would lead to a net loss of $(1,900)

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making product, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from dropping it.

It is noteworthy that only the fixed cost attributed to the product would be saved should it be discontinued.

The incremental analysis is done as follows:

Direct fixed cost of Sour = 30%× 7,000 = 2,100

Lost contribution = sales value - variable cost = 10,000-6,000= 4,000

                                                                 $

Lost contribution                                      (4,000)

Savings in fixed cost                               2,100

Net loss in contribution                           (1,900)

Dropping Sour would lead to a net loss of $(1,900)

Suppose Fiat recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Case for $4.3 billion. Prior to the merger, the market for four-wheel-drive tractors consisted of five firms. The market was highly concentrated, with a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 3,195. Case’s share of that market was 16 percent, while Fiat comprised just 8 percent of the market. If approved, by how much would the postmerger Herfindahl-Hirschman index increase?

Answers

Answer:

the increase resulting from this merger = 256

Explanation:

before the merger, both Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 16² + 8² = 320

after the merger,  Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 24² = 576

the increase resulting from this merger = 576 - 320 = 256
